I’m a Boston-based photographer with decades of experience shooting newsmakers in politics, business, entertainment and sports, during some of the defining events of this century. As an embedded photographer with the Massachusetts Army Reserve in Iraq, I spent weeks in-country moving with troops through forward areas, documenting the war, as well as the soldiers fighting it. I covered the aftermath of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the Boston Marathon bombing, creating award-winning images that told the stories of the victims and the heroes involved in those events. How did I get all that experience? It started with a degree in Communication Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which I used over the last 30 years to create acclaimed stills and video for a variety of organizations and publications. Twenty of those years were spent as a staff photographer for the Boston Herald where I photographed presidents, mayors, celebrities, and more playoff games, Super Bowls, World Series, and collegiate contests than I can count. It has been the full-on journalism career of my dreams. I still have a presence in the news business by occasionally freelancing for the Boston Globe. However, these days my bread and butter is politics and event photography. I’m having a blast working with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu on her press team. I’m also proud to count MassBio and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts among my regular clients. Life after the Herald is good. I’m living proof.
